Nash sucks
St Louis is too old to play.
I meant to post that yesterday.

Rick Nash = Baby Huey the cartoon character

Is it just me, or did the teams switch uniforms prior to last night's game? That was a Ranger-esque performance by the Bolts.

I hope Tampa finishes out in Game 6 - that was a great performance last night

Yup, and not only because I picked the Bolts in 6 in your contest, Cobie, I really like this Bolts team (all the guys I hated from the 2004 Stanley Cup Champs are no longer with the team).

I had a bit of doubt with them early on in the playoffs(they needed to prove more) but I've grown to them more and more and I love what they have going on - I know last night was a low scoring game and they had to play better defensively, but I like that that they play offensive because that is the best defense and they don't sit back like the Rangers do - they're much more exciting and I appreciate what they have going - it seems like so many teams in the league now are just sitting back and playing not to lose and while it helps them short term by getting into the playoffs(look at all the teams eliminated in 1st and 2nd rounds), they're not very exciting to watch and it doesn't get them very far - to win, you need everything(offense, defense and goaltending) and Tampa has it all

Guys like Tyler Johnson and Steven Stamkos are a breath of fresh air

can Bishop play as well as Holtby did?

Absolutely he can.

Just to reiterate.

Bishop's minor blow up in game 4 notwithstanding.

I enjoyed watching the Bolts the last few games. They just act like nothing scares them.

Awesome pic from last night.

Is that Tundo in that picture?

 

[mattola]

to be honest, they were Panther fans that got confused and thought their team was still playing

Is that Tundo in that picture?

Okay Tampa, let's end this series tonight.

Brassard makes it 1-0 Rangers

Come on Tampa

Great hit by Stamkos, dumb hit by Kreider...

 

[Nasty_Magician]

There you go Callahan.

Big goal by Callahan!! 2-1

 

[flyersfan4706]

The only thing better than a gorgeous pass like that is a finish like that

 

[dash]

That was a nasty slash by Staal on Kucherov...

 

[mattola]

Wow that was quite a bad penalty to take, that being said I think rangers play better 2-1 than 2-0
